As one of the fastest growing private insurance brokerage firms based in the U.S., EPIC has been on an aggressive growth trajectory, successfully competing against the largest, institutional brokers with an entrepreneurial, client-focused business model. The firm jumped an impressive 20 spots since being ranked at #46 by Finaccord in their 2014 Research Report.

Since The Carlyle Group became the firm’s major investment partner in December 2013, EPIC has nearly tripled revenues, from roughly $80 million to current run rate revenues exceeding $200 million.

“Standing on the edge of being a top 25 insurance broker globally is an accomplishment we are very proud of,” said EPIC Co-founder and CEO John Hahn. “What is even more remarkable is that we achieved this milestone just nine years from our founding. This is truly a testimony to the determination, character and quality of our people and the work they have done to build and sustain EPIC’s client-focused, people first culture, structure and business practices.”
